And by your definition my home router is not a router since it does NAT? There's really no point in arguing semantics like this.

We're discussing nonstandard IP protocols. In that context, your home router is a CPE, and not described by the term "router" without further qualifiers, because that's the level the discussion is at. I'm happy to call it a router when talking to the neighbors, when I'm not discussing IP protocols with them.
